Hi just wondering if anyone can positively ID this guitar? Can't find any pics onliine that look like it. Cheers.

If that’s an MSA it’s a very old one.....

Is it still there?

[Hobro]

I wouldn’t know, but then again it’s the shop that are suggesting it’s an MSA, not myself.
I agree though, its definitely an old beastie.
I don’t live any where near Middlesbrough so I don’t know if they still have it.

The price is now a more realistic £499.99. I'd liked to have seen a photo of the undercarriage.

Well as far as I can see there is nothing about that guitar that is MSA, it is (as far as I can see) a home made jobbie. The pedals are definitely not MSA, the fretboard is a Cyril Proctor and I've never seen an MSA that didn't have end plates. Without seeing the underneath there's no telling what sort of changer mechanism is involved. So I would say it's a home made British made steel.

Just phoned the guy up and he sold it after the person asked for pics of the underside.
